Abstract: Commercial interest in Internet technology has grown tremendously in the last decade. Until now, little research has been devoted to examining the internal deployment of Internet technology. The present study focuses on the implementation process of intranets by examining factors associated with its diffusion and infusion in organizations. Findings suggest that earliness of adoption, top management support, and organizational size are positively associated with intranet diffusion. Intranet infusion is positively associated with earliness of adoption, top management support, and IT infrastructure flexibility, and these effects are mediated by intranet diffusion. Implications for management and suggestions for further research are discussed.
